I read Talk of the County practically every day and, you know what? I’m so tired. It’s either either Trump or Waukegan; Waukegan or Trump. Why don’t we talk about Gurnee a little bit, about all the issues we have in Gurnee. When you go out to Gurnee Mills, you’ve got these people stalking in the parking lots and trying to steal stuff out of cars. Or some of the restaurants out there. When you go, you can’t even get near because of the parking area. And the Walmart, when you try to get in there, you could get in an accident the way they’ve got the traffic coming from the Sam’s Club and the Walmart. And then you go over by Builder’s Square and Home Depot, and the drivers come in and out of there by Wendy’s. And then they had to donate this park over here to the guy who used to be mayor or whatever. That’s all well and good, but is it going to flood just like everything else did? And I’m glad we didn’t have anything about Trump today. I’m tired of hearing about him.

In-laws now legal

I think now we know why Uncle Donnie is so against chain migration.

Thank you all

I just want to thank all the police officers from Kenosha, Winthrop Harbor, Zion, Waukegan, North Chicago and Gurnee. They helped me and my pet tremendously. They are fabulous. I mean God’s miraculous, but they were fabulous. And they helped me out so much. God knows how they helped us. It was wonderful. Thank you guys and women for all the help you gave us.

Concession obsession

Only in Illinois would it be $2.4 million to build a concession stand. Oh my God, you could build a five-story mansion on the property for $2.4 million. Where does the state come up with these hair-brained ideas that cost so much money? This is why the state is taxing the living daylights out of everybody who lives in this state. It’s just ridiculous how everything in Illinois costs 100 times more to build than it does everywhere else. Thanks, union.
